The story of the Eton educated English lord and the Thai soap queen wows Thais

 

 

Thai social media is abuzz with comment after it was alleged that a rich upper crust English lord is the new love interest of one of Thailand's most enduring soap stars.

 

Thai Rath reported that James Palumbo - the 54 year old mega rich and Eton educated Lord Palumbo of Southwark - is now an item with Kwan Usamanee.

 

Though Kwan, 32, was remaining tight lipped about the affair.

 

The scandal plagued actress who has appeared in countless TV serials went to the computer crimes police in 2015 after someone posted pictures of her allegedly having sex. 

 

But that doesn't seem to have deterred filthy rich Palumbo who likes dogs. 

 

Palumbo, a businessman and co-founder of The Ministry of Sound Group that has music and nightclub interests, was pictured with his son Alex, 27, in Bangkok. 

 

Thai Rath said he had been known to be living in London with a Thai woman named only as "Pim" for three decades.

 

He was listed in a Sunday Times rich-list as having 350 million pounds or around 16 billion baht. The Oxford graduate and former City of London whizz-kid has a long association with Thailand having helped stray dogs in Nakorn Nayok.

 

He is said to have a whippet called Mr Bounce. 

 

Thaivisa notes that The Ministry of Sound opened a fancy nightclub in Sukhumvit in the late 1980s/early 1990s that has long since closed.

 

Lord Palumbo who entered Britain's House of Lords in 2013 has never married. He has been instrumental in helping the political party known as the Liberal Democrats in the United Kingdom.

Did she deny having sex ? Why do they say allegedly having sex ?

 

At any event it looks like he found a date to Harry and Meghan's wedding

Stroke it up dude.

who writes this dribble !

Guys, some nice hot pics of the chick please,  for us to give a more precise diagnostic !!

Only thing I know about Eton is George Orwell went there and felt like a fish out of water.

He referred to his schoolmates "Tonies," because they all seemed to be named Anthony.

 

Does UK have penalties for those who do not respect the royals?  If so, does it includes guys like this?

 

 

I remember him when he used to slink about the back alleys trying to scrounge whatever scraps he could find. Mr Bounce is the classic rags to riches story...

Abhisit was a more recent pupil, in the same class as Boris Johnson.

It seems the one thing you know about Eton is wrong.

 

Actually Orwell rather enjoyed Eton though he hated his preparatory school.The suggestion he called his schoolmates "Tonies" is just a made up piece of nonsense.

 

He did by his own reckoning however feel out of place in the Burmese Police, though oddly enough contemporary Burmese accounts suggest he behaved as much like a pukka sahib as any other colonialist.

Whippet. 

'The First World War was won on the playing fields of Eton'  However, if this guy had any taste or class he would be living on the Italian Riviera, not slumming it with soi dogs in sweaty Bangkok.

Kwan Usamanee: Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?!

Lord Palumbo: Are you quoting Janis Joplin at me?

Kwan: Who Janis? Your mia noi? You better buy me Mercedes now!

Before he realizes it half of his "fortune" has vanished in a matter of time..... Sorry to be sarcastic now, couldn't help it..

Oh lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz, my friends all drive Porsche I must make amends

Not a "Royal".

 

A "Noble"

 

And a Noble for life only (Life Peer, Lord for life), awarded not hereditary.

 

His children will not be Nobles (unless they, like him and his father, are awarded Lordships).

 

Life Peerages are awarded by the Government of the day (with the approval of the Monarch).

 

They are invariably awarded to ex-Prime Ministers (who look forward eagerly to them).

 

PS The LM laws of Thailand make it an offence for anyone in Thailand to insult a foreign Monarch or Head of State.

MIsquote.The expression is that "The Battle of Waterloo (1815) was won on the playing fields of Eton" and it was said by the victor, The Duke Of Wellington.

 

130 years later the phrase was echoed by George Orwell although he added that all subsequent battles were lost there.

 

another quality story.

He's a Liberal Democrat.....

You really think being a Lord brings class?

"Thaivisa notes that The Ministry of Sound opened a fancy nightclub in Sukhumvit in the late 1980s/early 1990s that has long since closed"

 

they opened around 2000/2001, i remember it. it was crap, no one went there so it shut down quick. clientele was a bit like the levels of today, full of freelancers. They couldn't get people to come from places like Qbar. Bed and Narcissus so it shut down. was a big fail in the end.

 

From 2009:

 

"James Palumbo: There's only money, sex; and music and mellowing"

 

"Despite his riches, he lives in the first flat he ever bought, with a Thai woman whom he calls his best friend, Rawipim Paijit, or Pim."
